Empowering Communities, Restoring Hope
Every year, Hout Bay, South Africa experiences devastating fires that leave numerous residents with nothing but the clothes they are wearing.
At Thula Thula Hout Bay, we are more than just an organization. We are a community-driven movement dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families affected by fires in Hout Bay. Our name, Thula Thula, inpsired by the lyrics of the Miriam Makeba song means “hush-hush” in Xhosa, while the Zulu meaning “peace and tranquility”, reflects our vision of bringing peace, compassion, and support to those in need.
Founded by a group of passionate residents who witnessed the devastating consequences of fires in our community, Thula Thula Hout Bay stands as a beacon of hope and resilience. We firmly believe that every individual deserves to be supported and uplifted during their darkest hours.
